All you say is true. Except in your first post you didn't say "I personally prefer a convention of calling only those games poker".
You said "you can't call it poker" with a tone of an authority.
And I say that you can.

This is a misquote, if I ever saw one.
What I've actually written (emphasis added): "I also don't think this can be called Poker, really."
In other words, this is my personal line of thought, with the argument given in the next sentence, and "really" means "to some extent it can, but not to the full".
Refrain from using quotes unless you are actually quoting something that someone has said word for word. One good aspect of quoting the actual words someone has said is that it can act as a sanity check against potential misinterpretations you might have made.
The actual quote, word for word is "I also don't think this can be called Poker, really."
There is nothing suggesting a tone of authority, on the contrary this is someone explicitly sharing their own opinion on the matter.
